I began knitting when I was in my early 20´s in college. The women who showed me how had recently immigrated to the US from Mexico, and spoke about 4 words of English. My desire to learn to knit and her ability to show me how allowed the two of us to begin a friendship. Since that time, I have experimented with many stitch styles and techniques, knitting items for myself and my children. I am currently working on completing the Knitting Guild of America´s Master Knitter course. I have also been a member of several different groups in my local area dedicated to fiber arts.
I look for new ways to improve my knitting skill set while leading a busy life - I have children at home, a husband, and I work full time in education during the school year. My life is as full and busy as that of many of today´s knitters!
The relaxation, beauty and practicality provided by working with lush yarns to produce beautiful and useful items adds to my life. I plan for this site to continue to be a great source of information for knitters everywhere, new and experienced, to find ways to add these some qualities to their own lives.
